Artichoke and Garlic Dip

People rave about this very simple dip when I take it to parties or serve it at my own. I like it because it's so simple and always a hit. I got this recipe from a friend in the 80's. I don't know the origins.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  cup  real mayonnaise
• 1  cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1  can  artichokes in water not  oil, drained
• 3 -4  garlic cloves, peeled
• 1  round loaf Italian bread

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350f.
2. At the top of the loaf, cut a round section and hollow out the bread,
3. In a food processor, add the mayo, grated parmesan, drained artichokes and garlic cloves. Process until it resembles large flake oatmeal or to your liking.
4. Fill the hollowed out bread and replace the round cut out section.
5. Wrap in aluminium foil and bake in the oven for about 40 minutes.
6. I cut up a bagette for dipping and serve them around the hot garlic dip.
